  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I want to install Linux on a Vacuum cleaner, which sucks the most?

    Nix-OS. Nix translates to "nichts" in german, which translates to "nothing" in english. A vacuum creates sucktion force.

    Also I get endless error messages sometimes, when I run nixos rebuild switch --upgrade, that sucks in a metaphorical sense, I need to modify the versions of programs I install.

    [–] banshee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

    NixOS does suck me into the occasional rabbit hole - nothing like Gentoo years ago though!

    Is it actually sucky? I think I installed that once, but I didn't use that laptop much.

    [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

    Ironically it's probably Suckless.

    [–] ccdfa@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    Is suckless a distro? I thought it was just a collection of software

    What is a distro but a collection of software?

    It'll randomly doze off whenever you don't look at it for 5 seconds, tho.

    Damn I really can't argue with that. The developer is a prick

    Can someone seriously type with their penis? Impressive!

    for the unknowing: north Korean proprietary Linux version

    [–] droans@midwest.social 67 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.

    most honest privacy policy.

    [–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

    Is there even a place on the website that asks for that information?

    [–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

    Well now I'm even more conflicted about sending them my email!

    Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.

    [–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 81 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

    I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

    Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

    [–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

    If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn't have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.

    Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90's

    If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it'll be a vacuum cleaner.

    The one that's put out when Elon buys the Linux Foundation.

    [–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    There was a Windows tablet I bought for PDFs only. It ran some terrible Windows 8 lite version. That would easily be the worst Linux distro.

    Windows RT. What a pile.

    [–] Gork@lemm.ee 94 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.

    [–] Tiempo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

    Hannah Montana Linux is the past, RebeccaBlackOS is the future!!

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    [–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    TempleOS is God's chosen OS, but I don't live at church. I use TempleOS to pray, and Hannah Montana Linux for personal tasks. That way I get the best of both worlds.

    [–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

    But it isn’t Linux.

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

    !It's a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn't need internet access!<

    [–] TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    There are dozens of us! Mine is a Dreame D9 with a custom GLaDOS voice pack that I can change by updating a CVS file.

    I'd say Manjaro but they'd probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.
